I remember during puberty talk in 6th grade they handed out permission slips for parents to sign if they didn’t want their kids getting sex ed and like five students ended up having to wait in the library while the rest of us learned about puberty and health stuff.
Afterwards during lunch recess almost everyone in class spent our time telling those five kids what we learned and showing them our handouts.
Im sorry but it is so funny how people outside of tumblr view us. Like why are the tiktokers treating tumblr like some professional ass website you need to do extensive prep before you begin posting on. And the follower farming advice is so fucking funny to me when this is the website where people actively hate getting new followers
i hold werewolves as both a symbol of transformation and of self-actualization; they are the other, and the beast, and they are us. this art was created for october’s print club; it was also created for me (and for you).
Had the funniest kid on a field trip today who had obviously been on my tour before but wouldn’t fess up to it and instead just pretended to be deducing and intuiting the answer to every question on the spot. I didn’t rat him out because I didn’t want to embarrass him and because I was really impressed with his recall. He’d clearly learned and retained a lot and I was flattered!
I was like “does anyone know why fire might be important to a prairie ecosystem?” and he raised his and said, with this theatrically exaggerated air of thoughtful consideration: “I think it might be because many native prairie plants have deep roots and keep most of their biomass safe beneath the soil, so that when a fire burns the dead plant matter above ground, the roots stay alive and can grow back stronger on the nutrients from the fire?”
like yeah dude it’s like you read my mind or are receiving my whole spiel from memory with suspiciously exact phrasing… good job
people keep tagging this Tim Drake and I’m trying to wrap my head around the concept of “Batfam, but they’re public park rangers”
Hidden object games are a fascinating demonstration of the arbitrariness of genre as a marketing tool because sometimes a game with “hidden object” on the cover is basically a digital version of Where’s Waldo, and sometimes a game with “hidden object” on the cover is a full-featured point and click adventure game that just doesn’t call itself that because its target audience is your middle-aged mom and the phrase “adventure game” doesn’t sell for that demographic, and there’s absolutely no way to predict from looking at the promotional material which of those it’s going to be.
I love nonfiction that I simply cannot relate to at all. “it’s easy to get addicted to buying fast fashion! I used to spend thousands of dollars on it a year!” okay. you’re a space alien.
Why do we constantly have to have “humans get transported to another world” storylines when it comes to live action adaptations? Why can’t it just be in-media-res? Why can’t the Minecraft movie follow the novelization where a guy randomly awakens in Minecraft with no idea who he is and just needs to learn how to survive… you know… LIKE HOW THE GAME IS. Why do we gotta bring people from outside the game world into Minecraft? Why do they look human but everything else is a CGI nightmare? You couldn’t pull a Detective Pikachu and just set your god damn plot IN Minecraft from the start?
And most importantly …
WHY CAN’T THE WHOLE MOVIE JUST BE ANIMATED? You’re already animating like 95% of the film already, just fucking make an animated film.
This comic from Lilo the Autistic Queer (@A_Silent_Queer on Twitter) made me smile today. There is no one way to look trans, and no one way to transition. However you choose to express your authentic self is good and doing what makes you happy regardless of what cis people think is good.
when i say i’m from ukraine, people assume i live somewhere else now. when i say i live in ukraine, they assume i’m somehow immune to war, and there’s a logical division between a ukrainian they chat with on discord and a ukrainian on the news. bitches my yaoi is written from the bomb shelter
Just an ordinary day in Ukraine. You live on the very edge of being killed at any moment.
In case foreign people wonder how is it possible to keep living under attacks. Well, I remind you air defence systems work. But that doesn’t normalise the existence of course.
The tag is awesome, I apply it to everything I draw.
one of the formative memories from war for me was when i was having a work meeting and someone asked “hey Coffee, what’s that odd noise in your background? can you tune it off?” and my sleep deprived self cheery replied “sorry, this is shooting and detonation from an air raid, I can mute myself if it’s too noticeable, I’m almost done with this report”.
for me, it was so common it was… well. just there. only when the meeting fell into shocked silenceand then i received a couple of questions i realized that people just assumed “i’m from Ukraine” doesn’t actually mean “i’m in Ukraine still”
also yeah, creating something to keep oneself sane is very, very, very crucial nowadays…
also keeping on living is the best fuck you to ruzzians considering they want us all dead
I think the reason that social media has become as toxic as it is, is because a lot of people view accounts as the person, and not just some journal where the person occasionally jots down an incomplete thought.
Like, not every post is an eternal, declarative manifesto. Some of us are just thinking out loud, Mary.
Just because you have a window into my soul doesn’t mean you know the entire floor plan.
being mutuals is like we’ve never talked but i saw your vent post and do you want me to kill that person for you. still won’t talk to you tho bc that is scary sorry. love you
